ZTE Expects 4G Boost in China

Chinese telecom equipment supplier ZTE Corp. is no stranger to 4G technology, having worked with mobile operators to set up networks world-wide. Now it will get a crack at the promising home market, following China’s decision to issue licenses for fourth-generation mobile services.

The new 4G licenses will allow China’s state-owned telecom carriers to accelerate their network buildout, and in particular creates an opening for China Mobile Ltd., the world’s largest mobile carrier by subscribers, to begin offering Apple Inc.’s iPhone.
